    Aphid Eradication/Elimination

    I would like to overwinter some fuchsias indoors over the winter. I've done this successfully with ficus, natal figs, etc in the basement under grow lights. The problem is the fuchsias are infested with aphids. I don't want to expose my tropical trees to aphids so I'm wondering... Is there a...

    Is there a section/sticky for "Tree Health" or "Common Issues"?

    One of my Hornbeams has leaves that don't look too healthy. I was hoping to peruse some examples of fungus damage vs. root/watering issues vs. bacterial problems, etc. I'd like to see if I can figure out how to fish rather than having someone just hand me a fish. Does this already exist and...

    RAOK: European Olive Cuttings

    Some members of BN have been very generous to me recently and I'd like to pay it forward... I just trimmed a newly-purchased European Olive. I wasn't very aggressive with it yet because my wife is trying to keep this a landscape plant rather than a true bonsai. Anyhow, there are probably 2-3...

    CBC Mulberry

    I bought this Mulberry from another member of the Cleveland Bonsai Club. I think it's a neat little tree. I'm probably going to chop it next year after the first bend. This year I'll be focusing on the nebari and thickening the trunk. I channeled my inner @markyscott and worked the Ebihara...

    Scott's Collected Hedge Maple

    I've talked a few times about collecting a Hedge Maple this year and I wanted to get a thread started. The weather this past week has been just awful with storms and strong winds, so I haven't been able to document any of the work with this guy. As a teaser I'll just post the one bad pic I...

    Collecting Hedge Maple (Acer campestre)

    I'll be collecting a Hedge Maple (Acer campestre) in the next week. I was wondering how root cutback much they tolerate. @rockm let me know I wasn't aggressive enough when collecting a hornbeam 2 years ago and I want to make sure I don't make the same mistake twice. @AlainK, I know you have a...

    Lots of elms in Atlanta!

    I've been in Atlanta this week for a conference and have been amazed by how many elms I've seen as landscape trees. Cleveland has some here and there, but nothing like this. I'm guessing most of them are Siberian elms, but not all. Are Winged elms also native or at least planted as landscape...

    Elm Seedling ID

    Last year I collected some seedlings from the edge of a local parking lot. I sent a PM to @M. Frary a long time ago and he said to post a picture. (I hope I tagged him correctly, I want him to see this thread.) I'm finally doing as he suggested :) I'm guessing most of the seedlings are Ulmus...

    Root pruning American Hornbeam

    How aggressively can you prune the roots of an American Hornbeam? Last year I collected an American Hornbeam from my parent's property in MI. It's been growing in a large growbox since then. Today, I've been repotting the other trees I collected and since they all have small rootballs, I put...

    Air layer a red Japanese Maple?

    Hi all! This is the first question I've posted here. I'll do my best to be a specific as possible. I have a red-leafed Japanese Maple. I don't know what cultivar it is, but the leaves are fairly lacy. I do know it's not a weeping variety. I bought it 2.5 years ago (at the grocery store of...
